who came up with the concept of NOT pyramiding? I UNDERSTAND the point of NOT doing it ( blood levels, etc) BUT I want to know when this became popular? Alot of old school Bodybuilders I know STILL pyramid with excellent results, EVEN all teh guys of the past 4o years pyramided…why all the sudden this new generation says that “pyramiding is pointless” when there is so much proof that it works. I am just saying that why jump on the band wagon of NOT pyramiding when this is basicaly not the choosen method over the many years of great Bodybuilders?
Sure, it works. But the real question is, does it work better than non-pyramid cycling? Maybe. Or perhaps individuals are administering more androgens than what’s required to grow a significant ammount?
I do not know who decided to stop the PRYAMIDING but they were onto something! The small amounts of gear that would be used for the last couple of weeks on the pyramind would still completely inhibit recovery so it would be liek one step forward and two or three back.
In other words taking AAS at such low dosages can still inhibit your own natural Test levels and would not ever help your gains.
Im sorry if what I wrote is unclear but damn Im tired
Im off to bed
Comes down to the principle we have discussed recently: Front loading. Get the hormones in your sysem fast, get it up to therapeutic levels ASAP, get your gains then get The Hormones out so your balls can come back heavy metal style!
Pyramiding just makes for a longer cycle wich will cause greater suppression - remember it is not the amout of hormone which causes the degree of suppression, it is the length of time the hormone being used which factors into suppression
at one point in time there were no seat belts in cars. at one point in time it was perfectly acceptable to smoke cigs with no fear of a health risk. point being, at some point in the past lots of things were just fine but we evolved to some extent as people. we realized that just because something is being done a certain way. it may not be the best way. so we changed for the better. there may be some old heads still out there pyramiding. i know many that have changed. just use the common sense god gave you. thats what i do.
